About Subtasks

Subtasks enable multiple tasks to be scheduled within one main task for completion. Subtask lists can also be saved as a template to be re-used on future tasks.

Use cases include:

  • Setting intake/onboarding subtasks when a new Service User is added (e.g. 4 Assessments and a Care Plan to be completed)

  • Creating a multi-process task such as 'PM Routine', which may require multiple tasks to be completed (e.g. showering, brushing teeth, toileting, putting on pajamas)

If certain actions are set within a subtask list (i.e. take blood pressure), staff will be able to click on the action directly from the task view and enter the required data from the same page.

Once subtasks are set up, they can be marked as complete by clicking the checkbox next to each subtask within the standard task view.

A percentage completion bar will display, showing up-to-date progress of subtask completion.
